Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

it’s probably salvageable and if not it’s a source of components for a board in need

better remove the PRAM battery if it hasn’t started leaking yet

that’ll also let you recap it

you could also just send it out for that, there are folks who do it for a living now

yeah you need to recap it, if it hasn’t popped some already it’s on the precipice.

I prefer the handkerchief game
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_(2000_video_game)

quote:

The protagonist Jacob Streiker is fed up with the political situation in his country, taken over by mutant animals. Jacob's neighbours conform instead of questioning and resisting, thus rebelling on his own is Jacob's only hope of saving the country.

The game starts with the country's leader visiting Jacob's house and demolishing it, upon which he seeks to revolt.
